Embeds allowing bloggers to easily embed videos from Distrify. Just go to any Distrify film page or player and copy the URL. Paste that URL in any WordPress blog and it will automatically be converted to an embedded Distrify player. If you are logged in to distrify.com it will automatically add your affiliate tracking code to your embeds. Make sure you turn on Auto-embeds in your WP settings and also make sure that the URL is on its own line and not hyperlinked (clickable when viewing the post). The plugin also extracts the still image from the film and saves it as the Featured Image for the post. This actually works for any Embed (not just Distrify) that you embed into your WordPress blog.

Futurekids always keep things interesting and fresh picked. I also lovingly appreciate the chill vibe the band emit through low-key sound miracles and surprisingly sentimental ditties. Case in point, the premiere of White Girl In A Wu Tang Shirt offers the quaint and lovey dovey. This track smolders like the embers of a nostalgic campfire ricocheting inside the synapses of fond memory. And although my assertions fall infinitely short of adequate fluffery you’ll appreciate the point.

This is good music plain and simple. The bands forthcoming album This Is Everything drops November 21st 2015. Below you can also check out the short Making of This Is Everything after the jump and get the FREE DOWNLOAD for a limited time, because don’t cha know a good thing doesn’t last forever. Peace.

Canada quartet futurekids‘s debut track Inservice taken from their forthcoming EP Say Goodnight to the Machines.

The storyboard was rendered by hand between June 12 and August 17, bassist/songwriter Nicholas Friesen spent 192 hours crafting this heart-breaking animated story following the journey of an assembled 4-track experiencing friendship and the ups and downs of falling in love. Check it out below.

The video follows up a series of video collaborations between Friesen and Polaris Music Prize nominee Greg MacPherson.

In the video, you’ll meet a mischievous android (4-trak), the band’s #1 fan (Olivia Sea) and animated versions of Gareth, Josh, Ian and Nicholas. It’s kind of a film about our relationships with technology.

‘Say Goodnight to the Machines’, is due out digitally in September 2014. Peace.

PS I Love You are a couple of guys (Paul Saulnier and Benjamin Nelson) from Ontario, Canada who have a tendency of wearing their northern hearts on their northern sleeves. And for lots of reasons, it is a good and noble thing to do. Why? Well, for starters as listeners we get the end results of their lived lives. How they interpret the seconds, hours and days of their existence. It’s all there, the piteous lows and the dizzying highs. An artist’s thoughts dipped into the ink; the blood, sweat and tears written into musical journal entries.

It is a fundamental thing we humanoids do. We let life in and boy does it have an affect. Musicians are a blessing, their experiences, shared and otherwise, manifest in and through their art; to be inspired by and to inspire others through the music. It’s a beautiful thing.

The original track For Those Who Stay is a somber affair. It is simple, dark and brooding. Safe. It was an anchor, remixed it is a rocket ship lifting our feet off the ground. This is one of those “a change is gonna’ come” moments. And so, here it goes with the likes of Teen Daze, Young Galaxy, and Princess Century meddling with things again.

The kind and gentle song you once knew, in the hands of the above mentioned, gets shape shifted, re-worked and surgically augmented. And now, may I present to you the once dour and unadorned girl. TA-DA! Well, she’s a sexy beast now, and she knows how to dance too.

All this is done in advance of the third studio album release by PS I Love You, For Those Who Stay courtesy of Paper Bag Records, out July 22nd. Get the FREE DOWNLOAD of the Remix EP here.

Also, to listen to the rousing PS I Love You summer fun playlist: A Nice Journey head over to our good friends at 8tracks radio. Peace.
